How to Unlock a Stolen iPhone Passcode / Password or when blacklisted

There is a huge explosion in articles and forums with software and guides on how to unlock stolen iPhone.

But is this possible?

Is it even one of them for real or just trying to “exploit” the despair of someone who accidentally acquired a stolen iPhone with speculation and lies? (for a price, of course). Without further delay, let’s see what our choices are when we deal with a stolen iPhone.

What is the iPhone passcode?

The most common way to protect your iPhone from prying eyes is by activating a passcode on it.

The iPhone passcode is just a password used to provide access to the original owner and only to him. It is usually installed during the installation process, but this step can easily be skipped and turned on at any time.

The password is required when you do the following:

Turn on or restart iDevice

Unlock device to access Home Screen

iOS Update

Erase the device

View or change passcode settings

Install iOS Configuration profiles

In older iPad and iPhone models, this is usually a four-digit password similar to the password you can use for an ATM bank card.

On the latest iPhone and iPad models, you can still enter a four-digit passcode but you can also use a 6-digit or even fully alphanumeric password for better protection.

The newer devices, of course, don’t just stop there:

you can use your fingerprint instead of your passcode if your device supports the Touch ID

you can use face recognition instead of your password if your device supports a Face ID

Needless to say, but if either of these features is enabled (Touch ID and Face ID) then the chances of unlocking a stolen iPhone passcode are extremely low.

Having said what we need to know about the iPhone Passcode, the time has come to see if we can bypass it.

How to Unlock a Stolen iPhone without knowing the Passcode

As you understand how to unlock a stolen iPhone passcode is not that easy or at least as easy as many websites want you to believe. So let’s take a closer look at your options.

How to Unlock iPhone Stolen Password with Brute Force Attacks

Most people use a similar four-digit passcode like

1234

0000

2580

1111

5555

5683

0852

2222

1212

1998

or the famous squares 1397 or 7139.

If I have already guessed your passcode don’t worry, I’m not a psychic.

A recent survey showed that these ten iPhone passcodes were used by almost 20% of 200,000 entries. Most popular was “1234”, which was used by about 9,000 people. The rest of the codes are either very simple (repeating a number), they create a pattern (line, square, etc), or even a word (LOVE = 5683).

These results are shocking, as these ten codes are used by 1 in 7 iPhone users.

Simply testing these 10 passwords gives you a pretty good chance of unlocking a stolen iPhone, even on newer models since the same logic is also used in six-digit codes.

But before you start trying them all out you have to seriously consider that you get only 5 attempts to guess the stolen iPhone passcode right before seeing the “iPhone is disabled, try again in X minute” warning and then 5 more before the phone is completely disabled with the “iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes” screen.

How to Unlock Stolen iPhone Passcode with iTunes Restore

Restoring an iPhone through iTunes is extremely helpful if you forgot your passcode and thankfully a person who accidentally bought a stolen iPhone can use the same trick to his advantage.

How to unlock stolen iPhone Passcode using SIRI

You may also be able to use Siri to skip any passcode on a stolen iPhone 4S, 5, 5C or even 5S (only if the Touch ID is disabled), but only to some extent and only if the user has configured it so that allows Siri access when the device is locked.

While there are rumors about an iPhone passcode bypass method that works on all iPhone models and iOS versions, it might have been possible up to iOS 10.3.3.

The reality with iOS 12 Siri is as follows. Provided the iPhone is connected to the Internet and Siri is working while the device is locked, this method will work only if the stolen iPhone was turned on when you purchased it which is practically unlikely unless you are the one who stole the iPhone.

Anyway, this method will allow you to communicate with the original owner and nothing more.

Pressing and holding the Home button will activate Siri, but you should be smart about what you will ask. Here are some good ideas that you could try in this case:

“Reading the Call Log” – perhaps the best course of action.

“Call my husband”

“Call my mom”

“Call my dad”

“Call my boss”

“Read my last message”

“Who Owns This iPhone?”

“What is my email address?”

Unfortunately, after a number of tests, it appears that Siri has a limited amount of information that is likely to be revealed before eventually requiring the passcode.

How to unlock stolen iPhone passcode using an iOS restrictions passcode cracker

I’m not going to focus particularly on these allegedly stolen iPhone passcode bypass tools for a simple reason: None of them works.

At best you will get some software that makes iPhone restore on your behalf. There is no reason to buy any kind of iOS restrictions passcode cracker since I already showed you how to do that.

Can You Unlock a Stolen iPhone? – The Conclusion

Where did we end up?

The passcode of a stolen iPhone may well be overcome with a lucky crack or iPhone restore. But our problems don’t stop here even if we unlocked the stolen iPhone passcode.

Most of the time, a stolen phone will also be:

iCloud Locked

In this case, the iCloud Status of the device (CLEAN, LOST, ERASED) plays the most important role in removing the iCloud lock. Suffice to say that as long as an iPhone remains locked in the original owner’s Apple ID, there is no way to use it.

Blacklisted

If the original owner reported the theft on his network then the stolen iPhone has become blacklisted, which means it can’t be used with any network inside the country it was stolen. How to deal with a blacklisted iPhone is very special and covers specific networks.

In any case, the main problem with a stolen phone is the lack of information which is the only means of successful unlocking. The only way to get them right now is an IMEI Check service. So you will learn all the problems and of course how to solve them.

Hey, I am Makis. I am a Chemical Engineer and as it’s natural, I was fascinated with iPhone technology since the release of the original iPhone. In 2013, I bought a used iPhone from an online market but it turned to be locked and I didn’t know what to do in order to use my SIM Card. Despite being a tech freak, I spent too much money and time trying out fake services and iOS exploits until I found UltraSnow.EU and managed to unlock my iPhone with success. Soon afterward I became part of the team in order to help people like me through Quora or here and right now iPhone Unlocking is my cup of tea!

The company i work for has a drawer with old iphone 6 devices. i managed to unlock and use one to replace my old iphone 5 company phone, but only because the previous employee wasnt using the find my iphone feature. the second one i took to erase and give it to another colleague, has an activation lock of an other employee and it’s impossible to bypass. all the youtube tutorials are useless so far. any suggestions? the iphones are not stolen. it’s just bad device management from the company

Γεια σου Χρηστο.
We are already looking into this issue because as it seems there is not a loophole anymore in online Apple Support Form for iCloud Locked iPhones with Clean iCloud Status (not reported lost or stolen). There are a few ways to bypass the iCloud Activation Lock Screen but the phone won’t be able to make or receive calls.
Anyway, currently, you can’t remove iCloul Lock unless you manage to find the one who iCloud locked the iPhone through the company and ask him to deactivate it.
Visit the link I provided every now and then for new updates or simply subscribe to our page and you will be notified if something changes for iCloud Unlock.
Take care, Chris.

I am really confused now. I bought an iPhone 6s last week and upon getting home I got to notice that the device has been disabled.
I inserted a sim and the network was showing but nothing can be done with the iPhone. the only thing to do dial emergency numbers and nothing else. I checked online and the iPhone has been blacklisted as stolen or lost. find my iPhone is on. the iPhone is completely useless now. Please, what should I do?

Hey, Brian.
I am so sorry about your condition. This is a common scam. OK, this is what you should do.
1. The most important thing you need to do FIRST is to deactivate Find My iPhone and unlock Activation Lock. If you know the person who sold you the iPhone, contact him immediately. If this is not an option, then the iCloud Status of your iPhone will determine your next steps.
2. If you did a Full IMEI Check, then you also know the iCloud Status of your iPhone. If the iCloud Status is NOT stolen, lost or erased then we created this iCloud Unlock Guide and everything you can do to unlock iCloud is inside there.
3. If and only if you were able to disable Activation Lock, you should deal with the Blacklisted Status. As far as I know, right now you can only Unblacklist Verizon USA and T-Mobile Blacklisted iPhones. Of course, almost in any other case, you can SIM Unlock it but you won’t be able to use it inside the country it was blacklisted.

This is why you should always IMEI Check an iPhone before you purchase it. We started a YouTube Show and this iPhone IMEI Check Guide will answer all your questions. It’s 45 minutes but I really believe that will help you understand your situation and most importantly, never let something like this happen to you again.
Take care Brian and send me again if you need further help!

Can you turn off FMI lost/stolen iPhone lock and how much it costs?
I have about 16 to 18 iPhone 6 and 7’s that I bought from an online police auction that are all locked in one or more ways.
I already have someone that can remove icloud activation lock for me for $120 but he can not do that unless the FMI lost/stolen is off and I have several iPhones that have FMI lost/stolen on.
Please let me know asap. Thank you

Hey Eric and sorry for the delay
Unfortunately, there is no service that can unlock stolen iPhones except the ones you saw in this article, at the moment.
Please beware and don’t use any kind of software that promises iCloud Unlock because you will only lose your money.
Keep visiting our site, on this post because if something comes up we will update it immediately.
Take care.

Here’s the backstory:
I purchased an iPhone X from a seller on LetGo! To me, it seemed legit. I proceeded with the transaction. Everything about it was good till a couple weeks later. I wasn’t able to get service on my iPhone. I’ve checked with At&T and they informed me that the phone is blacklisted because it was reported as a stolen iPhone. Now the seller won’t get back to me. So here’s my question:
If I purchase the unlock Blacklisted iPhone service and it’s successful, and let’s say the seller reports it as stolen again, would the iPhone get on the blacklist again?
Thanks

I have the same issue.
I have an iPhone X and I need help with removing the iCloud account, factory resetting the device and unblacklisting the iPhone.
If you all have a resolution please contact me XXXXXXXXX. I bought the iPhone from someone and I can’t get my money back.

Recently I purchased this iPhone 6 from an online market.
After some days of use, the iPhone is blocked and it says the iPhone is stolen. And this iPhone is blocked by the owner.
Now I want to unlock my iPhone.

Sorry to hear about that. FYI, the only way to avoid this happening in the future, is to check the IMEI number of that iPhone BEFORE buying it. The IMEI GSX Report, is also able to show you if an iPhone can be reported as LOST/STOLEN after you purchase it (If it is still under contract or under warranty).

Now, to your case, is your iPhone Blacklisted by a Mobile Network OR it is iCloud Locked? It is very crucial to know this information.

Guys, I have a 4000 Euro problem. I bought 20 pieces of iPhone SE new (sealed) over the internet.
When I activated one of them it shows up a message saying “This device is identified as stolen and is locked”.
What can I do to get my money back or to fix the blacklist problem?

Hey, I found an iPhone 6s and I don’t know the password or the fingerprint.
How could I try unlocking it?
By the way, sometimes it says lock is disabled then it says wait for like 30 min or 1 hr.
I don’t know how to unlock this iPhone

It doesn’t seem clear if the iPhone is iCloud locked. Maybe it is not. In that case, it would be very easy to unlock. The thing is that you need to know what kind of lock this iPhone has. I have used this IMEI checker.
and it solved my problem (I got a carrier locked iPhone 5S and I had it checked and unlocked afterward)

I recently bought a brand new sealed iPhone 6s plus through craigslist. I called T-mobile to activate it and they were not able to because the iPhone was reported lost or stolen.
What should I do now to use the iPhone normally? Please advise. Thanks.

So I bought an iPhone 6 from someone on the internet and come to find out the iPhone was still locked to its carrier Sprint. The iPhone isn’t stolen it just had pending charges. Is there any way that I can still unlock the phone and use with a different carrier? I’m desperate. I’m not quite sure what to do with the iPhone and I really would like to put it to use. Pls help

Hi there!
My friend found an iPhone 6 in the US. He sent it to me to be fixed here in the Philippines. I’m wondering if I can save up money by iCloud unlocking it myself.
It is stack in Activation Lock Screen. If not, what else can I do? I don’t have any idea. Thank you

Hi, Dei!
The only way to remove the iCloud Activation Lock is to contact the iPhone’s original owner and ask him/her to disable it! If you don’t know the original owner then you can read this iCloud Unlock Free through Apple guide.
If you try any kind of iCloud Hacking Software you will fail miserably!
But I strongly advise you to IMEI Check this iPhone first because 99%, iCloud Activation Lock won’t be your only problem. Check out how many iPhone Hidden Issues can ruin the iPhone Unlocking process!
Anyway, if you want successful iPhone unlocking, make sure that you will use an iPhone IMEI Check Service first because only this can tell you how much money you will need in order to fully unlock your iPhone and if it is eligible for Network unlocking.
And don’t try SIM unlocking it unless iCloud Activation Lock is deactivated first!
I hope, I’ve helped!
Take care Dei!

I found an iPhone it required a passcode to open it.
So, I tried a few passcodes but they did not match and then the iPhone was disabled.
So, what do I do now? Can I unlock the disabled iPhone and use it or not?

Hi, Siba!
The iPhone you found is iCloud Locked!
It is wise to first IMEI check the iPhone.
In this way, you will also know if the iPhone is also simlocked, blacklisted or has any other secret issue!
You can find the IMEI number of your iCloud Locked iPhone by tapping the “i” button on the top right corner of the iCloud Activation Lock Screen or check out all the ways to find an iPhone’s IMEI numberr ).
Keep in mind that the guys there will not only uncover everything about your iPhone t but they will also help you through the whole unlock process.
You can deactivate Find MyiPhone by reading this iCloud Unlocking Tutorial.
I hope, I’ve helped!
Take care Siba!

Actually, I reset my iPhone 5s … After the reset, it asked for an activation lock… I forgot my icloud id… I forgot my Gmail id… I forgot its password…
I went to an Apple authorized dealer and they said that it’s better to throw the iPhone instead of using it because this phone cannot be icloud unlocked.
Sir, is there any way to unlock the iPhone because I don’t want to lose a huge amount of money by throwing this iPhone away…
Please help me out 🙁

Hi, Solomon!
Do you remember your security questions?
Do you still have a proof of purchase?
Read this article about forgetting iCloud ID!
These are the only ways to recover your account!
Take care Solomon! Happy New Year!

Hi, Dave!
We are not an iPhone Unlock Provider but a blog that tests iPhone Unlock Methods and iPhone Unlock Companies to make sure that our visitors will unlock their iPhone 100% guaranteed or they will take all their money back if anything goes wrong!
So, if you use iPhoneUnlock.Zone, we know that they are one of the best IMEI Unlock Providers (in my opinion, THE best) and they support PayPal!
PayPal is maybe the best indicator of a legit and trusted company!
Take care Dave and come back to tell me how it went!

Hi, I have my brother’s iPhone 6s which is reported lost & stolen to AT&T USA. I have all the iCloud Status details to unlock and use it back in India.
In order to disable iCloud Activation Lock, I just have to turn off backup under it right?? Or is there anything to be done using that iCloud Locked iPhone to create my new Apple ID?

From what you are telling me, your iPhone 6s is blacklisted by AT&T USA
As far as iCloud is concerned, if the iPhone is not iCloud locked by your brother’s Apple ID, you need to find the original owner and ask him/her to deactivate the iCloud Activation Lock!
If you don’t know who is the original owner you can use this iCloud Unlocking Tips and disable Find My iPhone through Apple Support
Of course, you must make sure that the iCloud Activation Lock is turned OFF before you proceed with SIM Unlocking!
Send me more info if my answer didn’t help!
Take care, Prasad!

My brother has removed his iDevice from iCloud. Now, when I format and try to login with the old appleid and password it’s not taking them.
What to do next?
How can I deactivate the iCloud activation lock?
Please help me.

Hello, thank you for the information.
I still have a question I would appreciate if you can help me.
Four months ago, I had lost my iPhone and report it as lost in Tigo Guatemala.
Since I needed to get another iDevice, they reported it as stolen and it was blocked by all three cellphone networks in Guatemala.
However, I found it and when I tried to use it they told me I couldn’t do it since it was blocked.
I moved to Taiwan one month ago and I would like to use it with Chunghwa telecom but I tried and I can’t put a chip on.
Is there any way I can unlock this blacklisted iPhone to use it in Taiwan?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, Sisa!
Did you report that you found the lost iPhone?
If you didn’t then your iPhone 6s remains blacklisted!

Anyway, contact iPhone.Unlock.Zone and ask if your iPhone 6s can be unblacklisted. Since you moved to Taiwan you will have no problems in using it with any GSM Carrier you want inside Taiwan and worldwide!
In fact, the only place in the world where you won’t be able to use your iPhone is Guatemala unless you report that you found it!

Try contacting your previous Carrier and see if you can unblacklist your iPhone because in this case, you can unlock it through your previous Wireless Network for free!

Your iPhone 6s is iCloud locked and the only way to remove the iCloud Activation Lock is to find the iPhone’s original owner!
There is no way to hack the iCloud Activation Lock and if you go for a ”special” tool that will bypass the iCloud Activation Lock Screen you will spend your money for nothing.
If there is a phone number or an email address on your screen go ahead and contact the iPhone 6s original owner immediately and ask him/her to disable the iCLoud Activation Lock (the original owner might even offer you money to return the iPhone to him/her)!
But if you can’t see anything else except the ”iPhone is disabled…” message then here is what you should do!

It is wise to first check the iPhone with a IMEI Check Service
You will need only the iPhone’s IMEI number (You can find the IMEI number of your iCloud Locked iPhone by tapping the “i” button on the top right corner of the iCloud Activation Lock Screen.

In this way, you will also know if the iPhone is also simlocked, blacklisted or has any other secret issue!
Keep in mind that the guys there will not only uncover everything about your iPhone 6s but will also help you through the whole unlock process.

The only way to activate your iPhone 5 is to find iPhone’s original owner. (and I really believe that your friend is not the iPhone’s original owner)

Hi everyone,
I purchased a very nice looking (mint condition) iPhone 6s, from a fair. Never had an iPhone before, only Android phones and Nokia’s not familiar with the fact that it can be blocked, locked in icloud, blacklisted and all the rest I read here. It wasn’t cheap but I thought it is still a good deal, as the price for a new one is double. The guy I purchased the phone from showed me that it is locked but it will unlock in 55 minutes. Everything seemed to be ok. Well, I bought it and… may I call it a rip off? Yes, 300 euros wasted for a lost iPhone locked. I live in Russia, more precisely Omsk oblast, very far away from Spain where the phone seems been lost by some Danish guy, and not an option to send it to him if he’d show any interest in it. I tried to contact him, to the phone number and the e mail that appears on the message saying that it was lost in Spain and giving hotmail e-mail and phone number for contact. I was hoping he might still need any data from his lost phone in exchange of the unlocking code and removal of the imei from blacklist and finally removal from his icloud so i can register on a newly created icloud account. No luck, the guy is no answering i guess no longer interested in his lost phone nor in the data he might have in the phone. He might have had some insurance for it and maybe hold no important data in it, but why he keeps it still locked What to do? Apart of dismantling it and selling it piece by piece(except for the board which is useless) or to do chip replacement on the same board, any other way to unlock it is basically impossible as I read here, without the password form the initial owner. It is an awkward situation, he lost it, and I was kind of ripped off being a total noob regarding iPhones. Lesson learned but… it is a shame I can’t use that phone else than selling its components to some gsm shop here and hope to recover as much as possible from my loss. If you have any idea please let me know.

Hi, Volodya!
(Sorry for the responding delay but I was sick yesterday)
I’m so sorry, you were scammed but I am really happy that this site helped you understand:
1. Why you were scammed
2. What is iPhone Unlocking
3. How to deal with a locked iPhone
I was in a similar situation a few years ago and that was what motivated me to get involved with Unlock.Ultrasnow.EU and offer iPhone unlocking help to people like me and you!
Anyway, you got everything right!
There are many iCloud Lock Hacking tools you can find online or at a local store but except the fact that they are all illegal, every single one we tested doesn’t work!
So, spending $130 to try one of those will most probably make your money loss even bigger and on top of that, your credit/debit card account will be in danger from spyware and malware!
You should keep sending mail or call this guy who rightfully iCloud Locked the iPhone!
If he doesn’t respond then yes, selling the iPhone as spare parts, is the only way to take some of your money back!
Read this article with other iPhone Scams you need to be aware of, the next time you will buy an iPhone and of course, an iPhone IMEI Check Service is the only way to be 100% sure about EVERYTHING before buying or unlocking an iPhone!
Again I’m so sorry but you learned the hard lesson well & nobody can fool you from now on… and this still counts as a win!
Take care Volodya!

Hi Makis,
thank you for your reply. I would not purchase anything online using a card, i do not trust that kind of transactions, here basically everyone is using cash even when doing online shopping they payment will be completed when the ordered goods arrives at your door so you;d pay to the parcel company who will reimburse the online shop or the private owner you ordered from. So do not worry, online payment is not my thing, never did and never will enter my debit card information. I tend to believe the person who lost the phone in Spain either had some banking information in his/her phone, I guess is possible to have such kind of things now to make payments for various services, or him/her got scared that i live in russia and i seem to big bad bear. I had the best intentions to help him recover anything he or she had inside it, I don;t even know how to set up everything in order to facilitate the transfer to cloud but i thought that eventually he/she might reply and tell me how to extract or upload all the data for him/her. Well his loss, mine aswell, I will wait another week or two if no reply will come and show no interest in the lost phone and the data in it i will simply open it and sell the screen the battery and the rest of the pieces hoping i will reduce as much as possible the initial loss. As i said i think it is pity that a nice looking phone will be torn into pieces, i do not understand if he or she don;t need it anymore why don;t agree to unlock it and leave somebody else use it. I even asked him/her to come to Omsk and pick it personally of course reimbursing the sum I spent on it but i just think the prospect for travelling 8000 kms to pick up a phone isn;t such an interesting one. So anyway, thanks, I am at peace that at least i did tried everything and i will no have any regrets that i wasn;t tried to be of help, according to the help i could provide in such circumstances. All the best, Volodya G.

Hi, my son lost his iPhone 6, claimed off his insurance and then 3 months later he found it but its locked/barred/blacklisted. Is there any way I can get this iPhone unlocked so I can use it?
We are in the UK and it’s locked to EE.
Cheers in advance, Ash

Hi, Ash!
Yeap, you can SIM Unlock it with a Premium IMEI Unlock Service!
You read the post about IMEI number, so you know how to find it!
So, you have all the required info needed for the Premium IMEI Unlock Service!
The thing is this:
Your iPhone 6 will be Network Unlocked for sure but it will remain blacklisted inside the UK!
Just sell the unlocked refurbished iPhone to another country because your iPhone is blacklisted only inside the UK!
An unlocked iPhone 6 can be sold even for $550-$6oo on online markets!
Anyway read this ”What is the Blacklist Status” article for more info & ask the guys from iPhoneUnlock.Zone to explain you more if you still have questions!
Take care and come back to tell me how it went!

Hello.
I’m Ahyoung from Korea.
I lost my iPhone in Bali.
Somebody stole my iPhone and I enabled Find My iPhone in lost mode but today I tried to find my phone again and the iCloud says, I don’t have any device anymore.
Is it possible?
Since I know the serial number, is there any chance to find my iPhone or at least save my really really precious pictures?
Please, help me.

Hi!
Your case is extremely rare because someone managed to hack the iCloud Activation Lock! (it needs a lot of skill because it is almost impossible to hack the iCloud Lock)
I am SO sorry but your iPhone is gone, forever!
Too bad that it was stolen by pro-thieves!
Take care!

My name is Scotty and I found an iPhone 6 or 6+ which is already locked and needs Apple ID to unlock it.
I can’t find any contact information for the original owner of the iPhone, what should I do? Please, help.

Hi, I have bought an iPhone 6S from a stranger. The phone is locked to a carrier but it’s not iCloud locked. I have the previous user’s Apple id and password but the
carrier is not unlocking it because the iPhone is flagged as stolen.
Please tell me how to unlock this phone.
I have made a police complain against stranger but without results.

Hi, Tanim!
From what I understand the iPhone seller was not the original owner (most probably he is a thief)
Anyway, you cannot hack the iCloud Activation Lock!
The only person in the whole world that can deactivate the iCloud Activation Lock is the iPhone’s original owner!
Just read this iCloud Unlock through Apple Guide.
I hope, I’ve helped!
Take care and don’t buy an iCloud Locked iPhone ever again!

Hi, Baltej!
Only the iPhone’s original owner can unlock the iCloud Activation Lock!
So, in order to unlock iCloud, you need to find the original owner!
If you can’t see a message with original owner’s contact info on the iCloud Activation Lock Screen, the only way to find him is using Apple Support.
Don’t try iCloud hacking tools because none of them works and you will spend your money for nothing!

Hey, how are you?
I paid for my brother’s iPhone 5s and he was using it just fine. But after a while, he made a reset and he forgot the Apple ID email and password for iCloud.
The good news is that the iPhone is not stolen or blacklisted but there is no solution to unlock iCloud in my country since there are no iPhone Unlock companies.

Please help me.
My sister in law has given me her iPhone 6+ and I can’t get through the account activation because she had forgotten the apple id and email account which she used for activating it.
I have tried to call Apple but unfortunately, they cannot do anything without providing them the Apple id account.
Please advise me on what should I do about this matter as I am worried that it can’t be activated anymore.

Hi, CJ dela Cruz
Unfortunately, if your sister in law forgot her Apple ID and Password and the security questions (they exist for this reason) then nothing can be done with this iPhone 6+!
There in no reason to contact Apple because they never reveal Apple ID & password
Tell her to remember which security questions she used!
There is a really small chance (only 5%) that an iCloud Contact Info Service will reveal the security questions (but not the answers)!
I am so sorry but I wish you best of luck in iCloud Unlocking your iPhone 6+!
Take care!

Hi there, I previously ordered an iPhone 6S and when they delivered it, someone stole it from the doorstep but managed to catch the thief after a couple of days.
I reported the iPhone as stolen to Apple and they replaced with a new one.
Now I have 2 iPhones 6s and I am using the new one but the other one I am assuming is either blacklisted or it can’t be used cause it’s locked.
I would like to send the phone back to my family. Is there any way for me to unlock a blacklisted/reported stolen 6s iPhone?

Hi, Ben!
Of course!
The iPhone is Blacklisted indeed!
A Premium IMEI Unlock Service will SIM unlock it but the iPhone 6s will remain blacklisted to the country it was blacklisted at first place (and maybe one or two more neighboring countries, if they share their blacklists with yours).
So the reported LOST/STOLEN Blacklisted iPhone cannot be used in the same country it was blacklisted after the unlock!
Now if you send the iPhone to a country that the iPhone is not blacklisted, your family will be able to use the iPhone 6s with no problem with any GSM Mobile Network they like!
On the other hand, if your family is not living in such country you can always sell the unlocked iPhone 6s after you unlock it, to a country that it is not blacklisted and make some money (you can even make $250 more because the iPhone is UNLOCKED)
You can check out here everything about iPhone Blacklist Status!
If you still have questions I will be more than glad to help you.

Ok… Someone sold me an iPhone 6s but then I found out that the remaining balance was more than what they sold it to me for… He wants to report it stolen… But how will that affect me? They have a different carrier than I do.
Will this lock my iPhone?

If the person who sold you the iPhone 6s has still an active contract with a Mobile Network (with this iPhone) then he/she can report it as stolen to the Mobile Network.
This iPhone will be blacklisted and even if you unlock it with a Premium IMEI Unlock Service you won’t be able to use it in your country!
So is your iPhone under contract with the previous owner?
An IMEI Check Service will uncover all your iPhone 6s hidden issues and iPhone Unlock Experts will advise you how to proceed!

I hope this was helpful and I wish that your iPhone will remain CLEAN!

Hi, I have a few questions about my stolen iPhone.
My iPhone 6 was stolen recently. Find my iPhone was on, I tracked it and I immediately put it on Lost Mode (then iPhone icon on “Find my iPhone” showed a lock icon). It did not show any location as it was offline. A few hours later, it showed the location as it was turned on briefly then it went offline again. After that, I decided to Erase it. It showed Erase Pending (This iPhone will be erased when it connects to the internet). I did put my contact number to show on the screen. The next day I received text alert that said: Your iPhone was found today, and view location (giving me a link to a location). After that my iPhone disappear from Find My iPhone. I want to double with you does this mean that all data from my iPhone has been erased? That’s why it cannot be tracked again via Find my iPhone (as it has warned before I decided to delete it). Does this mean that my iPhone is locked and whoever stole it cannot use it?

I have another question also. I have 2 apple id connected to this iPhone. 1 for iTunes and 1 for iCloud. When I checked through both apple id account, this iPhone is still listed on my devices. A week later I got an email saying my iTunes Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud. I did not know whether they are successful or not. My question is how do they know the id? (I remember giving my email to the person who I report my stolen iPhone on the premises – who thinking back could be the person/group that actually stole my iPhone in the first place. So I logged in to my iTunes app id and change the password. Concern they can hack into my account, I remove this iPhone from my iTunes Apple ID’s devices. But this stole iPhone is still on my other iCloud’s devices. My question: is my iPhone still on an ICloud lock and remains under LOST/STOLEN status? Can they use my iPhone? Should I keep this iPhone under my iCloud indefinitely even though I know I will not going to get it back but will prevent it from being used? Is my data remains secure if it remains on my iCloud’s devices list?

The bad news is that someone stole your iPhone, of found it and didn’t communicate with you!

The good news in your misfortune is that NO ONE can use your iPhone as long as it is iCloud Locked and your iPhone remains iCloud Locked and you should KEEP it iCloud Locked!
Also, ALL your data are erased indeed
The only way for someone to remove the iCloud Activation Lock and activate the iPhone (your iPhone) is to enter your Apple ID and Password.

So even if you gave your Apple ID to somebody , he/she will never guess your password!
On top of that, the iCloud Activation Lock CANNOT be hacked. All the iCloud Lock Removal tools you probably saw are just scams. ONLY you can disable the iCLoud Activation Lock!

What will mostly happen is that a poor fellow will buy it from an online store as a refurbished unlocked iPhone without knowing that the iPhone was stolen but when the iPhone is turned on, he/she will see that your iPhone was Lost & erased, your Apple ID and Password will still be necessary to activate the iPhone, and your contact information will be also shown on the iCloud Activation Lock Screen!
Don’t be surprised, if in a few weeks someone contacts you and ask you to remove the iCloud Activation Lock!
Ask him/her to show you the receipt of your iPhone purchase to make sure that he/she isn’t the thief.
If he/she was also scammed in buying your stolen iPhone then it is on your hands to iCloud unlock it or not!

Bottom line: Your iPhone will never be used again without you removing the iCloud Activation Lock

I really wish you to find your iPhone and keep me informed about any updates

One question:
I have a locked iCloud iPhone and it is linked to a specific Apple ID. Can it be unlocked?
Because I used a website called iphoneimei, they took my money and told me that it can not be unlocked since it is lost/stolen. Is there any way I can unlock the iCloud lock permanently?
Since there is no way I can reach the owner of this iCloud ID.
Thanks in advance!

It is always for the best to use an IMEI Check Service before you unlock or buy a used iPhone but the IMEI Check Service provider is a whole other thing.
This is why I always use and recommend UnlockSpector for IMEI Check Services.
To understand the difference they would explain your exact situation and suggest the specific unlock services for your problem. If their suggestion fails to unlock your iPhone you will get all your money back, even those you spent for the IMEI Check Service at first place!
And this is the reason I always use specific providers. To ensure that not a single one of our visitors will get scammed and to maximize the chances of iPhone Unlocking.
But let’s take a closer look at your problem because iCloud Lock is a big issue!

There is NO WAY to hack the iCloud Activation Lock. Only the iPhone’s original can deactivate it.
But there is a way to FIND the original owner and ask him/her to disable the iCloud Activation Lock

Just read this FMI Removal Guide!

I hope you find this helpful. Tell me how it went, with your iCloud Activation Lock Removal
Take care!

Hi Parminder!
Was your iPhone iCloud Locked?
If yes then all you have to to is to use the Find My iPhone app!
Check out how to use it here
The good news is, that even if you don’t recall enabling Find My iPhone Activation Lock, if you were using iOS 9 when you set up your iPhone then it was automatically enabled with iCloud!

The bad news is that without the iCloud Lock, you will never find them my friend. Don’t forget to report your iPhone 6 as stolen to your Carrier!

My husband works at the airport and people forgetting iPhones and iPads there all the time. For some of them, we contacted the original owner and they got returned.
Others did not respond back so those iPhones and iPads are a brick now. It’s such a waste when a lot of kids in my country (Vietnam) have no iPad or computer to use.
So if I bring those iPhones and iPads to Vietnam and put a new SIM card in, can people over there use them?.
Or do I have to do something else before they can use them?
Thank you so much.

I am really glad you want to help people and I really admire your thoughtfulness!
So here is the thing:

1) First of all take those iPhones and put a SIM card from your country! Maybe some of them will work. It’s difficult but maybe some of them are unlocked!

2) If you see the invalid SIM card message then the iPhones are SIM Locked or even Blacklisted!
In both cases just go to iPhoneUnlock.Zone and fill in the 4 questions needed!
For an IMEI Unlock service you will need:
-The iPhone’s IMEI number (find the iPhone’s IMEI number)
-The iPhone Model
-The iPhone’s Blacklist status
-Which Mobile Network locks the iPhone
These will be the four questions I told you!

If you don’t know them you will need an IMEI Check Service! For this service, you just need the iPhone’s IMEI number and it will uncover all the info about the iPhone

When you fill in the form in iPhoneUnlock.Zone and you don’t know the answer, just select the ”I’m not sure” option and they will also offer you an IMEI Check Service with the accurate results.
Blacklisted or not, the guys there will explain to you every single iPhone’s situation and they will unlock it.
There are rare cases that an iPhone can’t be unlocked and they will tell you if nothing can be done with some of them!

3) If the iPhone needs original owner’s Apple ID and password to get activated when you turn it on, it means that the iPhone is iCloud Locked

I really believe that when you explain how you found the iPhone’s and what you want to do with them, the original owner will gladly help you! I would!!!
Keep in mind that these iPhones will be also SIM-Locked, Blacklisted or both but you will have no problem in unlocking them with iPhoneUnlock.Zone

These are all I have to share with you at this moment. If you have more questions I will be more than glad to help you!
Tell me how it went and make children happy!
Take care!

I found an iPhone 4s and I entered the wrong password. Then I found that the iPhone is disabled so then, I updated the software, turned the phone on, I selected the language and country and connected to WiFi and after a few seconds, it asked for email and password.

Your iPhone is iCloud Locked and the only way to bypass the iCloud Lock is to use Apple Support and this iCloud Unlock Tutorial.

I strongly suggest you to first check the found iPhone 4s with an IMEI Check Service.
In this way, you will also know if the iPhone is also simlocked, blacklisted or has any other secret issue!
For that, you will need only the iPhone’s IMEI number (You can find the IMEI number of your iCloud Locked iPhone by tapping the “i” button on the top right corner of the iCloud Activation Lock Screen)

Hi, sir, I found an iPad mini and it is icloud locked and it says that this iPad is lost and erase, please contact me with a given phone number… Is there a possibility to unlock the iPad without the original id?

Sir, I found an iPhone 5s and removed the iCloud ID and passcode. Now I am using it with my own iCloud ID and I have a question for you:
I got this iPhone from the roadside. is there any possibility of getting tracked by IMEI number of the iPhone?”

I found an iPhone 6 and want to use it. The phone screen is disabled and said the iPhone has been reported as lost and show a phone number. I know that if I want to use it, I have to do the iPhone IMEI check and then order the iCloud lock removal service.
After both services are done, when I turn on the iPhone, does it still need the passcode to access the iPhone?
Thank you for your help

Yes, the iCloud Contact Information service, will provide you all available contact information of the original owner of that iPhone, so you can contact him/her and negotiate with him to remove the iCloud Lock.

I found an iPhone 6s. My mom put her SIM card into it after a visit to the phone store. However, when she came home, it said it wanted a PUK code which is an 8 digit number in my country at least.
However, when I swiped to the side it asked for a “Touch ID” thing instead and with “6 bubbles/digits” to press.
So, when I type in my moms PUK code which is 8 digits it just vibrates after the 6th number and doesn’t work.

Hi,
I received an iPhone 6s+ recently.
I did an imei check before opening the box and it says it is locked with Verizon USA and is blacklisted.
I want to know if I can use it in the USA with t mobile since it is brand new.
Whether it can be unlocked or not.
I ordered your services of imei check.
Let me know if it’s possible to unlock and use the phone in the USA.

Since your iPhone is blacklisted by Verizon USA, it means that it got blacklisted from all mobile networks inside USA, Canada, and Mexico. It is not possible to use it with T-Mobile or other USA network. Only the original owner can remove the blacklist status of that device, so I suggest to contact him.

Hi.
I recently received an iPhone as a gift. It’s an unopened boxed iPhone 6s+.
I checked the imei number and it is blocked and reported as lost or stolen with Verizon USA. I used your services to find out the details. Find my iPhone is off.
I live in the USA. Can the iPhone 6s Plus be unlocked and used with t mobile?

Hello there, I have an iPhone 6 locked and blacklisted to O2 UK. Currently, I am using it with a Gevey SIM. But I want to get it unlocked permanently. Someone told me that it can be done with worldwide iPhone unlock. But if I restore it or update it from iTunes it will be locked again.
Only updating from ota will work fine and the iPhone will never lock again

Now my question is this: Is there any solution which can permanently unlock my iPhone?

Yeap, you can unlock your iPhone, but you will not be able to use it inside UK, since it is blacklisted.

Go to the following link, answer 4 simple questions about the state of your iPhone (iPhone model, network you want to unlock, blacklist status and iCloud status) and at the end it will suggest you the correct unlock service for your device. They support O2/Tesco UK blacklisted devices with Official IMEI method, so you can normally use your iPhone with iTunes and upgrade your iOS version without getting it relocked.

Hey Stephen. We do not offer any services, we simply provide solutions based on our experience and tests. For the moment, there is not an iCloud Removal service available. Only through Apple and the original owner, an iCloud Lock can be removed!

I lost my iPhone 6 Plus a while back and I couldn’t find it so I got a new one sent to me as a replacement. Then a few days later someone found it and returned it to me. Now, I was wondering if I can get it unlocked still?

Hi, I found an at&t iPhone 6s plus in the box, never used…I didn’t open it yet and I’m kind of nervous… Is the iPhone unlocked? Can I put my SIM Card in it? Would it matter if someone reported it lost or stolen since it was never used and it’s brand new?

Hi,
I purchased my iPhone from the Philippines as brand new. It was working fine in the Philippines and India but when I came to the USA it worked only for a day. I called tmobile and they said my iPhone was reported stolen and it is blacklisted.
I wanna use this iPhone 6 badly. I purchased it from Apple retailer itself. It is a brand new phone but I don’t understand why it is blacklisted. Please help me.

Hey Zisis, I bought this phone 6 on eBay. It’s clean but shows iCloud activation, and it’s locked to at&t. Can I unlock the iCloud and the AT&T. Because I paid OfficialiPhoneUnlock.com and I later found out they are a bunch of criminals. Thanks

I bought an iPhone 6s from an unknown guy but he said that it was clean, no Apple ID inside and it was like new.
But it is erased after all. So can I use this iPhone with my apple id or it will create any problem?
Please suggest me what to do.

Hi! I got an iPhone 5s when I went to Jeddah(Saudi) and after I gave it to a local service to unlock the passcode. He reset it and now it’s asking for an iCloud id and password. now I am in India, is there any way to unlock the iPhone 5s? if yes I will be so glad to know ..thank you

I found an iPhone 5c in America during summer and have tried to contact the owner but without success. I am living in Ireland. It is iCloud locked and has no sim card so I don’t know what phone company may have blacklisted it or not. How should I go about unlocking it completely? Thanks!

Actually i found an iphone yesterday and used it for half an hour….bt s soon as i connected wifi it was lovked and showed disabled screen and started asking password….is there any way to unlock the iphone without calling the owner??

I was in Hong Kong for the weekend and lost my iPhone 6 and found what I thought was my phone but it was someone else’s instead.
I only realized this when I landed back in Australia.
I used Find My iPhone and after a couple of days it came up in Hong Kong, then after a few minutes, it was turned off. Their iPhone is also iCloud locked. I tried ringing them but I couldn’t get through.

Since it is iCloud Locked, then the first thing that you have to do is to contact the original owner and ask him to remove it. There is not a service that can remove the iCloud Lock for the time being. I can suggest you this iCloud Unlock guide. you can use it unlock your iCloud Locked iPhone via Apple support.

Hi,
I reported my iPhone 6 as lost/stolen through Assurion/T-mobile but I actually just found it at a friend’s house, so I went to put my MetroPCS ship in it, and it just won’t work. I’m guessing the phone is black listed. Is there a way I can have it unlocked?
Thank you!

Hi,
A little story: the iPhone was working (make, receive calls) until an IOS update. So, I think that the iPhone was unlocked and the next moment, it was barred/blacklisted. I was using it in Orange Romania network.

Your iPhone is Locked, not Unlocked. Always check the Next Tether Activation Policy, this is the value that says if your iPhone is locked or unlock. “Next Tether Activation Policy Description: UK TMobile Orange”. It is close to impossible to share blacklist (UK and Romania), so after your iPhone got barred/blacklisted by T-Mobile UK, it also got locked. Unblacklisting it will not help you much, since your iPhone will stay locked. I suggest to unlock it, and not ever use it inside UK. You can order an iPhone Unlock service for your T-Mobile UK iPhone

Yes, your iPhone can be unlocked, and if it is CLEAN (Not in a contract) it can be unlocked with a very small fee. Go to iPhoneUnlock.Zone, fill out their form, and you will be able to check the price and the unlocking time.

Hi, please somebody answer. I got an iPhone six from offer up (buy or sell App), paid 300 hundred dollars but when I tried to connect they told me that the iPhone was reported stolen. The guy from the offer up never answered again Help. What to do? Is there any way to fix this? 🙁

You will have to find out a few things about your iPhone, such as SIM-Lock, Initial Lock-Network, Blacklist status, iCloud and Find MY iPhone status. All those info, are required for a successful and permanent iPhone Unlock service

After getting all the information, you will know exactly which iPhone Unlock service is for you, and you can pick it from a trusted and tested iPhone Unlock Company.

Hi, I’m from the Philippines… I found an iPhone 6 and it’s in the Korean language. I asked an I.T. to check it and he said the iPhone is blacklisted and iCloud on. Is there any chance to unlock it? And where should I go? Thanks

It depends actually. First, you will need to learn in which network it is locked and which network blacklisted it.

You will be able to remove the blacklist status and the iCloud Lock with the help of the original owner. But first you need to figure out who is the original owner of that iPhone, and if you can’t do that, you will have to get in touch with Apple and follow this iCloud Unlocking Tutorial

Hey I have and iPhone 6 from t-Mobil I payed 300$ I checked the IMEI number and it was clean before I got it. Now it’s bad it’s not payed for I got it of creglise. You think I could unlock it to use it or find the guy who I got it from if I go to the police?

Yes, you can unlock it, and you will be able to use it inside USA as well. I do not know if you go to the police that you will be able to find the guy that sold it to you, but if you go to the police most likely they will keep your iPhone. If this is the original owner of the iPhone, then they will be able to find him, but I do not know exactly what they will be able to do to him.

You can order a T-Mobile USA Unlock from a trusted and tested iPhone Unlock Company.

I purchased an iPhone 6 Plus from the original owner. I checked that with the IMEI number to make sure that the iPhone was not locked. Then I used an unlocking service because the Sim card I put didn’t work. After waiting for two weeks, the iPhone Unlock provider service said that the iPhone was SIM card locked & it could not be unlocked because there was an existing contract with Sprint and the bill needed to be paid prior to being unlocked. I am out $250 for the iPhone. I purchased it from a Facebook post from Kenosha electronics. What can I do now?

Hello, I came across this page thank god, because I’ve been desperately looking for help. My aunt’s ex-boyfriend got an iPhone 5 for me under his contract with Sprint. Once they broke up he reported it as stolen and never heard from him again. My phone is literally new. I only used it for a month. I want to use it so I won’t feel like I just gave money for free! Can you please let me know if there is a way that I can completely unlock the iPhone and use it with any network with all the services. I would really appreciate it! please and thank you.

There is a method that can Unlock your Blacklisted Sprint USA iPhone, but after the unlock you will not be able to use it inside the USA, Canada or Mexico. The Blacklist status can only be removed by the original owner, which is your aunt’s ex-boyfriend.

You can order a Premium Sprint USA iPhone Unlock service, and then sell it as an Unlocked iPhone (Or use it yourself outside from the USA).

Well, the first thing is to check everything about this iPhone, which can only be done with a Full iPhone Unlock Check Service.

Then, after knowing all the information about your iPhone, you can find an iPhone Unlock Provider (We suggest iPhoneUnlock.Zone) and check if they can support your iPhone (You can send them the iPhone Unlock Check report that you received, and they will inform you if they can or cannot unlock your iPhone!).

I have an iPhone 6s.
I want to unlock the iCloud.
IMEI is blacklisted.
This is a lost stolen iPhone.
I have checked it with IMEI and I confirmed that it is a lost stolen iPhone.
Can you please suggest me whether there is a possibility to unlock this iPhone? it is very urgent.

The only way to remove the iCloud Lock from your iPhone (And the blacklist status), is through its original owner. You will have to contact him/her and ask him/her to remove the iCloud Lock and the Blacklist status of that iPhone (You will have to negotiate).

If you do not know the contact information, then you can remove iCloud Lock through Apple Support and this iCloud Unlock tutorial.

Hello, I have found an iPhone 6 s and I tried locating the owners but I was not successful. The phone has a screen message and it’s probably locked or reported lost. How can I get rid of all that and activate the iPhone?

If you have the accurate contact information of the original owner and you cannot track them down, unfortunately there is nothing more you can do. The iCloud lock can only be removed by the original owner!

Ok so to be clear I live in the USA. I found an iPhone, the iCloud is clean but the phone has been reported stolen which means blacklisted. So to be clear even if I got the iPhone unlocked there is no way to remove it from blacklist unless original owner removes it? So then does the blacklist ever expire? And to be clear because it’s blacklisted to Verizon in the USA, I will never be able to use it here?

You are right to everything. Since your iPhone is blacklisted by a USA network (Verizon), this means that it will not be able to operate inside USA (And Canada and Mexico, because they share the same blacklist).

Your only option is to get in touch with the original owners, and ask them to remove the iCloud Lock and the blacklist status!

Hello… I have bought an iPhone 6 plus from a stranger. After buying it, I came to know that it is not his iPhone… As he told me, he does not know the Apple ID and password… He went off… The iPhone is in lost mode… How can I use this iPhone 6 plus by clearing activation lock? Plz help me and save my money!! Plz

My son and I have iPhones 6 and my BF put them under his plan, we split up and he reported them lost to Verizon and they have been locked, they are only a few months old and we want to reactivate them with AT & T, we have the needed IMEI info and our iCloud information. Can we do this? Or what steps do we need to do to unlock them?

If you have the iCloud information, then you can log in to the iCloud and change their status from LOST to CLEAN (If they are reported as LOST only to the iCloud). If they are reported as LOST to Verizon, this means that they got blacklisted. Now, all the USA networks know that your iPhones are blacklisted, so they will not allow them to use under their networks. Unfortunately, only your ex-boyfriend can remove the blacklist status of those iPhones.

Hello, I bought an iPhone 5c from a stranger and he told me if you want to use a sim card, use turbo sim and unlock it because it is carrier locked by o2 UK. I am unable to unlock it or use turbo sim because it is stolen or claimed for insurance. Plz, help me. Tell me how I use can use my sim in iPhone 5c. This phone is in India.

IF your iPhone reported as STOLEN to the iCloud or to the O2 UK Network? If it is blacklisted only to O2 UK Network, and the iPhone is Unlocked, then you can use it OUTSIDE from UK (Which means that it will work in India).

Now, if it has an iCloud Lock, then you will have to contact the original owner and ask him to remove the iCloud Lock. If you can’t find the previous owner you should contact Apple.

I call to o2 customer care number and they give me 50 pounds if I give the iPhone back but it is very little. I spend 8400 INR on it (about 80 pounds). Is there any way to unlock it using jailbreaking? I don’t want to spend money on this iPhone more.

A friend of mine came back from the USA and gave me an iPhone 6plus. When he gave the phone to me, the iPhone was activated but he told me the iPhone was locked to Sprint carrier. Somehow I fumbled and did a factory reset or something and it is telling me to activate the phone. Now, I can’t even use the iPhone with Wifi anymore unless I activate it. I have tried using different sim cards but it keep telling me that ““The sim card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation center”… The same thing it said when I connect to my iTunes…

I have done an IMEI check, a service I paid for on a site called iphoneimei.info and I was sent the status of the phone as this:

I wrote them back to inquire about the Next tethering, And they told me my iPhone is locked to Sprint and is blacklisted as well. At the moment, I can’t even activate the iPhone. So its just useless.

I am contemplating on unlocking it on the following site iphoneunlock.zone. However, I need some questions answered before I do so.

1. If I pay for this service, will they be able to unlock the phone even without activation or will I have to give it back to my friend to take it to the USA for activation before it can be unlocked or will I be able to activate it with any sim of my choice here in Nigeria after unlocking?

2. If the site unlocks it, will I be able to make and receive phone calls here in Nigeria, UK, Dubai or any other country? I am a frequent traveler to these countries.

3. Please kindly state what a regular iPhone can do that this iPhone won’t be able to do after unlocking and still blacklisted.

1. If I pay for this service, will they be able to unlock the phone even without activation or will I have to give it back to my friend to take it to the USA for activation before it can be unlocked or will I be able to activate it with any sim of my choice here in Nigeria after unlocking? – Once you unlock your iPhone, you will have to activate it, which means that you will have to know the Apple ID and password of that iPhone. You can order an unlock and then ask your friend to remove this device from his iCloud account. That way, after the unlock you will be able to activate it with your own iCloud account.

2. If the site unlocks it, will I be able to make and receive phone calls here in Nigeria, UK, Dubai or any other country. I am a frequent traveler to those country and I stated. – Yes, you will be able to use that iPhone anywhere you want, EXCEPT USA, Canada and Mexico!

3. Please kindly state what a regular Iphone can do that this Iphone wont be able to do after unlocking and still blacklisted. – The only difference is that you will not be able to use that iPhone inside USA, Canada and Mexico. All the other things, you will be able to do that normally!

hey hi, I have bought an iPhone 4s from a stranger. I have been using it for the last 3 or 4 months on my own iCloud id… but today I started updating it to the iOS 9.3. When it was done, I was asked to enter my apple id again. Once I entered the same one I have been using for 3 or 4 months on the same iDevice, I got the message that it belongs to some other person with some a……@…ru i.d and it is on the lost mode… I don’t know what to do. It is not erased. it’s just asking me for the iCloud of the previous owner. Is there any way out?

You will have to contact the original owner. If this iPhone was still under contract or under warranty, the original owner might report as LOST. Only if the iPhone is not under warranty you can permanently use it with your own iCloud account.

If you do not know how to contact him, I suggest using Apple Support in order to disable iCloud Activation Lock

I recently got back my iPhone that was stolen. Now that I want to use it. I can’t because I failed the claim on it. The insurance company is telling me that even though I paid for both phones I must give them the one I recovered and I will not get my money back that I paid to get the replacement phone. I don’t want to give them this iPhone, I want to unlock it so my uncle can use it. The wireless company I use is tmobile. Can you help me?

Please help me, I lost my Gmail password and I want to use that Gmail to open my iCloud account… Can someone please hack the Gmail password for me so I will use it to verify my icloud on my iPhone?
It’s on lost mode too…

Bought a new iPhone 6 but stuck to the activation screen with SIM NOT VALID.
I checked my imei online for free and it shows CLEAN. I later tried a paid service and it says NOT CLEAN/UNPAID BILLS.
My iPhone is locked to SPRINT US. Can it be unlocked?

Yes, it is possible. You will have to use a Premium Sprint USA iPhone Unlock service. There is a good chance that you will be able to use it inside the USA too, but sometimes Sprint USA might not allow you to do it.

Hello Zisis… How are you?
It is actually my first time here. I just need some help from you
My friend has a found an iPhone 5 and he wants to sell it for a few bucks so, I want to buy it.
But my question is: Can I use that iPhone?
If yes, then how can I get it unlocked?
Please send me details and I shall be grateful to you… Thanks

Hi.
Recently my daughter lost her iPhone 6 at school. I reported it lost and had another one sent to us. Well two days later the phone was phone/returned but the replacement phone had also came. She’s now using the replacement iPhone and has removed all of her iCloud information from the old phone. My cousin wants to purchase the iPhone but I’m not sure if it can be used.
It’s on the ATT network.

Your iPhone can be used, but it will not work inside USA, since you have reported it as LOST. You can try asking AT&T to remove the blacklist status, but I believe that they will ask you the replacement iPhone.

You can sell it, but you will have to state the current status of that iPhone. If it is locked, blacklisted, replaced IMEI/Serial and iCloud locked. You can order a full iPhone Unlock Check service for that.

Hi, I am Brocherd from South Africa. I found an iPhone 6 on my way to work. Someone dropped it and the battery was off.
After 2 days I bought a charger to charge it and waited for the owner to call me but no one did.
Then I tried several times to enter the passcode until it loaded again telling me to select language and country.
Then I put a SIM card to activate the iPhone but it is saying ”SIM card error” or ”activate over Wifi”.
I connect to Wifi but it is saying ”SIM card not allowed”.
What must I do to activate iPhone 6?

Hello, may I ask how to unlock my little sister’s iPhone 6..I pressed the wrong password until the phone was disabled. I need to open my lil sis iPhone to know who she contacts cause she always goes out at night and comes back in the morning…

You will be able to use that iPhone only if the original owner removes the iCloud Lock from it. This means that you will have to contact the original owner. If you can’t find him, then Apple Support is your only option for iCloud Unlocking

Hello, I have bought an iPhone 6 from a stranger. After buying it, I came to know that it was not his iPhone… He told me that he does not know the apple Id and password… He went off… But, it is not in lost mode or any other iCloud Status. It is a factory restored iPhone… How can I use this iPhone 6 by clearing the activation lock? Plz help me and save my money!! Plz

Thanks for your response!! I just wanted to know that… Is it possible to track a restored iPhone 6 when the SIM card is placed in the slot or connected to a wifi network.? I’m asking about a clean restored iPhone!! Plz, clarify me.

I recommend you find the owner or let the owner find you. I just lost my iPhone 6s gold 64 GB in Torrance, CA and I am more than willing to pay $cash for it back. No questions asked. I just want all the baby videos that were not backed up. I can care less about the iPhone.

I bought this iPhone from a local site and found out it is barred. An official iPhone Unlock service company told me it cannot be unlocked coz it’s in Apple’s lost/stolen database. Can u guys tell me if this iPhone can be unlocked?

First you need to tell me in which Mobile Network your iPhone is locked to, if your iPhone is reported as Lost or Stolen, if your iPhone has unpaid contract bills, if it is in-contract with a network and if it is activated with an iCloud account (You can learn all the above with a full iPhone IMEI Check report).

After finding out all the above information, you can go to iPhoneUnlock.Zone and order the service that will unlock your iPhone. Have in mind that a blacklisted iPhone cannot operate within the country that was blacklisted!

In order to pick the correct Unlocking service for your iPhone (Each service has a different price and unlocking time), you first need to learn in which Mobile Network your iPhone is locked to, if your iPhone is reported as Lost or Stolen, if your iPhone has unpaid contract bills, if it is in-contract with a network and if it is activated with an iCloud account (You can learn all the above with a full iPhone IMEI Check report)

Then, after learning all the above, you can go to the following link and order the specific service that will unlock your iPhone (You will have to pick the Network that you want to unlock with the combination of CLEAN or BLACKLISTED service, which depends on the blacklist status of your iPhone)

Hello sir. I have got a second hand iPhone 6. This is an iCloud locked phone and the Apple id and password used when it was activated were different and now I don’t remember them at all… Please tell me a solution to unlock my iPhone. And how much it will cost me??

I have bought a lost iPhone 6+ from Taiwan. I’m scared when it was trying to contact me since I am from the Philippines I can no longer contact the original owner. However, in order to stop the snoozing (because it was quite loud) I decided to reset it and when I turned on the iPhone, it was asking for the Apple ID and password of the original owner of course. 🙁 I don’t know what to do! I have spent already a big amount for buying this iPhone. Is there any way I can use it with my own Apple ID and password like I normally do with my other Apple devices? Please help me with this matter. Thank you!

hi
I bought a cell phone iPhone 6+ from olx.com and the iPhone is blacklisted. When I log in, the phone wants owner email id and password which I don’t know. The owner phone number is also given on the screen. I can call them but the number is off.
So, how I can find the imei number? I really lost a lot of money for it. please tell me the right solution

I recently purchased an iPhone 6 plus and I discovered it’s been reported as lost/stolen and blacklisted. How can I unlock this, please? Also shows that the owner of this phone has reported it as stolen or lost. So, what should I do now? plz help me.

Hi, zisis…I got an iPhone 6s plus unlocked, brand new sealed and I bought it. not very expensive, from someone who lives in my area. He will not pay the bill, cause it is not working at all. I live in the UK. Will that iPhone be blocked in the future, and if the phone will be blocked, can I unlock it?
Thanks

Your iPhone will get barred after a few months of Unpaid bills.
If it gets barred, you will not be able to pay the bills, only the owner can do that (Maybe you can give the money to him and he will pay them).
Since your iPhone is already unlocked, you should not have any issues with all the other UK networks, maybe only from the Mobile network which the bills are not paid.

There is not a service that can remove the iCloud Lock from a LOST/STOLEN device, only the original owner can do that. Also, avoid using “special software” because they are full of viruses and malware, and of course they will not unlock the iCloud lock of your device.

I have found iPhone 6s…so I want to use this iPhone 6s but the phone has passcode also…
First I want to crack the passcode.
How do I do it?
and after the passcode is unlocked if I will be able using this iPhone without sim, using internet from wifi
Is there any problem…or another way to use this phone in the future?

Hey I have an iPhone 6s Plus 128gb and I reported it lost and got a new one from t-mobile. How can I unlock it to use it in Mexico? It doesn’t have iCloud or anything. It was just reported lost or stolen

USA, CANADA, and MEXICO share the same blacklist (For specific networks). By unlocking your iPhone, will allow you to use it with specific Mexican networks. First, find out which Mexican networks share the same blacklist with the USA, and then you can order a T-Mobile USA iPhone Unlock

I have found an iPhone 6s.
So I want to use this iPhone 6s but the phone has passcode also.

I purchased an iPhone 6S+ from a person which can be used only for T-Mobile.
After selling to me, he went and reported this as lost/stolen at T-Mobile… Now it is activation locked.. iCloud is clean.
Is there a way I can use this iPhone?

The person has switched off his phone and is not reachable, of course, that was a con man… 🙁

I just recently purchased an iPhone 4th Generation and I reset it once I bought it.
But after I select a language and get into the reset screen I can’t get past the activation screen
How do I bypass the Activation Lock Screen?

I am afraid that I have bad news for you. Erased iPhones cannot be unlocked. Only their original owner can make the CLEAN and usable again. If you can locate him, then I guess you can ask him about it!

I had my iPhone 6 stolen in the United States, but it is from a Japanese phone company. Will the person that stole it be able to use it at all? And if they can, will the “Find My iPhone” app detect it?

Hi! I’m on a plan with my recent ex-boyfriend. He got mad at me and threatened to shut my iPhone off. He followed through with it and reported my iPhone stolen. I made my own account and unchecked the box and said I found it. I’m sure he’s going to find out because he’s going to have to pay for it and he’s going to be pissed. Resulting in me being shut off again. Should I go and try to open up my own line before he finds out and shuts it off? And if I don’t do that in time what are my options? Also is there any way I can find out his spring password or get into his Apple account?

Hi there, I bought a brand new iPhone 6 from an eBay seller in July. When I received it, my data was working, however, I could not make or receive calls or texts, I can’t even call 999, but my data works. I’ve realized it is clearly blocked but I don’t know what to do about this because I’ve clearly been scammed.
Please advise me on how I can fix this problem, thank you.

Hello Zisis, how are you?
I bought an iPhone 5c in a wasted state of mind about two years ago from Dubai. When I woke up next morning excited to check it out then bam, it said congratulations mothaf***er, you got a lost/stolen iPhone.
I sent an email to the person it belonged to but never got any reply.
Anyway, what to do with it? I’d appreciate your help… Cheers!

It seems that the original owner scammed you. In this case, there is not much you can do.

I suggest to contact Apple, inform them about your case, and also show them the message. This will prove that the original owner sold you this iPhone (Which is lost/stolen) by knowing its state and with the purpose to scam you. They might be able to check if this guy has more iPhones in use, to blacklist them. At least, you can make him pay for trying to scam you with Apple’s help (It is not 100% sure that Apple will help you though, but it worth trying!)

Hi, I have a company iPhone 6. The company let me go and owe me an amount of money. They have allowed me to keep the iPhone and contract while we sort out the debt. I am currently in the UK and on the EE network. I am using my own iTunes account. It seems that the company will not pay the full amount they owe so I was looking at taking the iPhone as part of the missing payment. I will be returning to Singapore in the new year and I was wondering if the company chooses to lock the iPhone, would I be able to use it in Singapore? Is it a UK iPhone? Thanks

If this iPHone is Unlocked, then even if they reported as Lost/Stolen, you will be able to use it outside of UK without any problem.

If your iPhone is locked, then you will have to unlock it before going to Singapore.

Hi, my aunt gave an iPhone 5s to me but I can’t use it. Everytime that I’m inserting sim card there’s always showing on screen “The sim card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation center…..” What am I going to do?

I found a lost iPhone 5s, and I can’t unlock it, it doesn’t have the easy and small password it has a long one, and you can’t get on Siri or anything. And it also says that it requires the password to get onto it, when I go to reset it says that I have to be active on the phone or something like that, what can I do to unlock it!?!?

Hi Sir! My name is Hamza from Pakistan and I found an iPhone 6 in Dubai. It was disabled by attempting too many passcodes. I restored the iPhone with software but it got iCloud locked. It was not in STOLEN/LOST MODE. I put my sim card and also connected wifi, both were working properly. I know the owner’s iCloud id and his name but I don’t have the password. What can I do to get the password? Is there any other way to unlock it permanently from iCloud? PLZ HELP ME…

Hey, I just bought an iPhone 6 online, then found out it’s blacklisted. I went to bell, the original carrier, and asked them if they could find the owner through the imei number but they said they can’t do that kind of stuff, so I went to Apple and they said the same. Like there is no way of finding the owner. And so I was wondering because it’s blacklisted in Canada, If I go to the US and unlock it there, can I then use it here (in Canada )? Or will the iPhone be blacklisted here forever? Pls let me know

I lost my iPhone and it’s been over 3months since I reported it as lost with iCloud. I found my phone, it was in the inside of my couch and I don’t remember icloud email or password. So I need you guys to help me and I really don’t want to pay for my iPhone to get it unlocked. I tried iTunes and it was restored but the icloud activation code is still there. so please help me

I bought a brand new iPhone 6 for only $20 .. I mean that’s a great deal right? The only thing is that it says this iPhone has been lost when I turn it on. If I jailbreak it Will it work with my apple ID? Can I use it as an iPod?

Hey, I have my sister’s iPhone 6 which was locked to Vodafone UK which she declared lost a couple of months ago so she could give me the phone. What we didn’t know was that they would bar the phone, is there a way for me to unlock a Vodafone UK iPhone 6 which was barred?

Hi, I live in Canada and I bought an iPhone 6 off from a stranger that said it was unlocked. But after I connected to the wifi it says I need to enter a SIM card. So I was getting suspicious and thought maybe it had been stolen. Then I went on the iCloud website and put in the IMEI number to check and it said the phone was locked so I am pretty sure it’s been stolen. I checked unlocking websites but they say I need to put in the carrier that the phone is locked to. How do I unlock the iPhone without knowing the original carrier or anything?

I found an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6+. I found it at the mall and it was locked and has a password. But I just don’t know how to unlock it so that I can use it as mine. It wants the real owner’s password to put in.

If you are referring to a lost iCloud iPhone, then only the original owner can remove it. So, your best option is to find the original owner and contact him/her. If you can’t then iCloud Unlocking via Apple Support is your only option

Hi there! I came across this page and learned valuable inputs. I would like to personally ask for your professional help. I lost my iPhone 6, find my iPhone is on, iCloud activation is on as well. I chose to “play sound” when it will be connected to the internet. I did not report it lost or stolen. Now the person who found it reached me through my number, asking for my apple id and passcode. Of course, I didn’t give them. Looks like he has no plan returning it even if I offered money. Can he still use my iPhone? Appreciate your help. Many thanks!

If the screen is working normally, then that iPhone might be stuck on a loop, which means that you will have to restore it through iTunes.

If the screen is faulty, then I cannot troubleshoot it! You will have to go to a store, to check if the screen is broken or not!

I suggest to do that first, so you will learn how much money it will take you first to fix the screen, and then I will be able to inform you how much price it will take you to unlock it (If it requires unlocking of course!).

1. Connect your device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
2. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod when it appears in iTunes.
3. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
4. Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the device software file and restore your device.
5. After your device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. When it does, you’ll see the “Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the setup assistant. You can set up your device as new or use a previous backup. If you restored an iOS device that has cellular service, it will activate after you finish setting up your device.

I bought an iPhone 6 online not knowing if it’s lost or stolen but it won’t let me reset without the original owners iTunes! It is locked with tmobile. How can I reset without original owners iTunes?! If someone knows please help!

If you can only see an iCloud Activation Screen to your iPhone, this means that your iPhone is iCloud Locked!

First, you must do a full iPhone IMEI Check, in order to find out if your iPhone is Blacklisted or not (It will also verify that your iPhone is locked/unlocked and to which Network) – Do an iPhone IMEI Check

If you do not remove the iCloud Lock from your device, then it does not matter if you unblacklist or unlock the network of your iPhone. The Activation Lock will not allow you do to anything with your device.

We do not offer such services, we only propose to our visitors the best possible solutions for their iPhones!

If you want to proceed with an iCloud Unlock, you will have to locate the original owner first and then ask him/her to remove the iCloud Lock from your device. Read more on this Remove Activation Lock Tutorial.

I got an iPhone 5s from an unknown person.i think it’s a stolen one. when I tried to reset it, it was locked and showed some contact info.how to reset it without apple id and password and how to unlock Apple lock?

I recently bought an iPhone six plus online. Didn’t know it was reported stolen till I went to check at T-Mobile. What can I do? I want it unlocked! There has to be Someone out there who is a really smart hacker! This sucks so bad! Is it possible to get it unlocked?

Hi, I bought an iPhone 6 on a local site and it was all on and I had no iCloud issues.
I’ve done a cheap free blacklist check and it said the iPhone 6 was blacklisted inside the UK on 02 and Vodaphone as they are the only options there to check.
But in the USA and Canada, it’s clean!
So I put my sim in and just got a busy tone on all outgoing calls but later I came across this new check on youtube and it was called esn blacklist check.
I put the imei number in with *#06# and it has come back as clean and now I am confused as when I 1st bought it there was an orange sim in which I threw away and it was completely fine as an iPhone 6 but without making or receiving calls.
Can you let me know if this can be sorted out or what is wrong with the iPhone 6 as I want it as my own instead of having 1 for apps and another for calls?
But I was thinking if this iPhone may have been a contract iPhone on orange and he sold it without paying the bill but I can’t confirm that.
How can I get this iPhone 6 working fully for me because I get a signal when I put my sim card in but it beeps and ends as soon as I try ringing out.
Any help would be great, thanks.

If your iPhone is blacklisted by a UK Network, then your iPhone will not be able to operate/work inside UK. You will be able to use it with any other network you want (Outside from UK)! To be 100% sure, you will have to make an IMEI Blacklist status check (Free services are not 100% accurate).

This is an article about Carrier Unlocking, not unlocking your iPhone due to wrong PIN & PUK numbers. You will have to find the PUK code of your iPhone in order to unlock it. Then, you will learn if your iPhone is Network locked or unlocked!

If an iPhone is passcode locked then just connect it to a computer and hold the power button and the home button until you get the iTunes arrow screen then click restore and wait. If it doesn’t work you’ll have to repeat the process
